在土耳其首都安卡拉举行的北约峰会期间，土耳其总统雷杰普·塔伊耶普·埃尔多安向与会的各国领导人赠送了刻有各自名字的左轮手枪及配套实弹 [1][2]。这一举动引发了多国安保团队的关注与处理上的不同安排 [3]。英国首相基尔·斯塔默确认收到了这份礼物，但由于英国法律禁止进口活体枪支（即装有子弹的手枪），该武器无法进入该国领土 [1]。因此，这把刻有斯塔默名字的左轮手枪及弹药将留在土耳其，并在解除武装后归还给英方 [1][3]。
除了英国首相外，其他几位领导人也收到了类似的礼物并采取了相应的处置措施。比利时首相巴尔特·德韦弗选择将收到的枪支移交机场警方进行保管 [3]。欧盟委员会主席乌尔苏拉·冯德莱恩表示计划退役该武器并将其捐赠给军事博物馆 [3]。加拿大总理马克·卡尼（注：原文事实包中人物为 Mark Carney，此处依事实包内容陈述）将手枪带回本国，但特意把弹药留在了土耳其 [3]。瑞典首相乌尔夫·克里斯特松的团队则称需按照特定程序运输该武器 [3]。匈牙利总理彼得·马加尔和波兰总统卡罗尔·纳沃茨基的助手也在社交媒体或相关渠道确认收到了礼物 [3]。针对此类礼物的安全性，有官员提及了过往案例以强调谨慎态度；例如，2022 年曾有一名波兰警察局长因收到反坦克火箭筒而受伤爆炸，因此有人明确表示“确定不会有人开枪”[3]。
在此次峰会期间，埃尔多安不仅赠送了武器，还与英国领导人签署了国防协议 [1]。该协议旨在加强两国间的情报共享并巩固联盟团结 [1]。斯塔默在谈及此次峰会成果时表示，会议实现了联盟的团结，同时也提及了乌克兰局势以及伊朗冲突等议题 [1]。尽管礼物本身因各国法律差异导致处理方式各异，但埃尔多安向所有北约领导人赠送实弹手枪的行为已得到多方证实 [2][3]。
At the NATO summit held in Ankara, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan presented engraved revolvers and live ammunition to attending leaders [1][2]. The gifts included bullets; specifically, six rounds were noted for some recipients [3]. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer received a revolver engraved with his name along with ammunition from the Turkish president during the event [1]. However, due to UK laws prohibiting the import of firearms containing live ammunition, this specific weapon will remain in Turkey and be disarmed before any potential return [1].
Other leaders faced similar logistical challenges. Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever handed over his gift to airport police for safekeeping [3], while European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stated the item would be retired and donated to a military museum [3]. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney took the revolver back but left the ammunition in Turkey, whereas Sweden's team indicated they must follow specific transport procedures [3]. Hungarian PM Péter Magyar confirmed receipt of the gift on social media [3], as did Polish President Karol Nawocki's assistant, who noted that no one would fire the weapon and cited a 2022 incident involving an exploding anti-tank rocket launcher in Poland [3].
Beyond the ceremonial exchange, leaders at the summit signed a defense agreement aimed at strengthening intelligence sharing and consolidating alliance unity [1]. Starmer remarked that the summit achieved alliance solidarity while addressing issues regarding Ukraine and Iran conflicts [1]. The unusual nature of the gifts caused confusion among security teams from multiple delegations, as each nation must adhere to its own legal and safety protocols for handling such items upon return home [3].
